.To @ZZ whom, if ma, concern.'

Be it known tint l, Bronnen. Hmsfr, n citizen ot the United. States, residing in lhiledel his, Pennsylvanie have invented certain mprovements in `Woven Pile Febrics, of which the following is s. specification.

My invention consists of a. novel form of woven pile fabric intended mainly for carpets, rugs or upholstery purposes, and havmg on one fece o cut pile and on the other ieee en uncut ile, either oi? which faces may be exposed as esired in the use of the fabric.

ln the accom nnying drawing Figure 1 represents an en creed sectional vieri1 teken in the direction of the warp und illustrating my improved fabric es it sppesrs duringthe weaving, with o. number o the pile Wires stili remaining in the pile loops ond other pile loops being; cut by the withdrawal of the wires therefrom, and Fig. 2 represents enlarged section of the obric teken in the direction oi the weft.

The sbric is composed of four sets of threads ond two sets o weft threads. The Werp thresds comprise tbe pile-forming serp l, s etudier Warp 2 ond two sets or binder wsrps 3 end s, sind the weft threads comprise on up er or top set 5 sind e lower or heck set 6. L he stutter werp 2 is introduced between the upper end lower sets of seits 5 sind sind the binder werps 3 end sro interwoven with the -Weiits of the upper set, the pile worp threads 1 being carried down between successive weft threads 5 und looped around a corresponding lower weft thread 6, which is staggered in respect to the weit threads 5 of the upper set, as shownln lin weaving the fabric, pile wires 7 are introduced in the usual way so as to cause the pile werp 1 to form loops on one foce of the rubric, as shown at the left hund side of Fig. 1, which loops are cut by the withdrewel of the pile Wires so es to reduce the cut pile tufts shown et the righ hund lside oi litio. 1, the looping of the pile threads sronnr the lower rrerts 6 forming, on the soir of the fabric en uncut ile, whose loops sr tilled'by the weit thresd 6 these rows of uncut pile' being disposed so c osely together to be precticsily in contact with one snother so es to provide en ecce teble ile fece on the beck o the fabric Eres fprom si defects,

such os grinning of the stuiier or binder' werp threads or the upper Werft thresds btween the pile loops on the bock of the feb ric. But a single set of pile worp threads is employed, the colors oi the Dsttern being printed `upon these Werp thresds prior to the Weaving of the seine, so that each werp thresd presents o party-colored nppeorsnce as in weaving whet are own es tapestry carpets, esch color unit, however, being olf lWrester length then it would be in s worp tiresd for n correspondingly patterned tsp estry carpet woven in the ordinary wey, bccause, in my improved sbriq the ile is carried to and sround e weft tiresd on the beck of the sbric ond esch color unit on esch worp thread hss to be long enough to form the ettern in the uncut pile on beck of the ebrio es Well os in the out pile on the fece of the fabric, the patterns on both feces of my improved sbric being; alike.

Fobric woven in eccordsnce with my in vention is very flexible but hss no tendency to curl.

l' claim:-

1. A woven pile fabric boiling s out pile on one fece en un uncut pile on the oplet site fece both formed by the some pile Werp thresds, in combination with upper ond .lower like sets of weit threads, the pile forming worp threads guessing between successive Werft threads of the upper set ond being looped around the corresponding Weit threads o the lower set, whereby the rows of pile cre disposed. closely together on both feces of the fabric.

2. A woven pile fabric having s patterned cut pile on one foce end o stterned uncut pile on the opposite fece bot i formed by the seme party-colored pile wor threads, in combination with upper and ower like sets of weft threads, sind pile forming worp threads passing between successive weft threads oi' the upper set sind being looped around the corresponding weft threads oi the lower set whereby the rows of ile nro disposed closci together on both 'aces or the ebric en e corresponding1 pattern is produced on each rece of the fabric.

3. di woven pile fabric composed of upper end lower like sets of weit threads sepsisted by longitudinal etudier thresds, pairs oit tio .binder Werp 'threads interwoven with the neme to this specification, in tle presence mf @eeft threege @idele ppper et end; pile-form? two subecpibingg witneeeee. mg wmp twee s, essmg etween successlve A? ln@ et threads of e u per set and looped;V n RCH MD L around the correfsggml ,mg Wei@ thgeedg @i Witnesee:
